FAQs
Why is metal roofing a smart choice for Gatlinburg’s mountain climate?
Gatlinburg experiences heavy rain, occasional snow, high winds, and wide temperature swings. Metal roofing excels in these conditions because panels interlock tightly, resisting wind uplift up to 140 mph, and the baked-on finishes shed rain and snow quickly to prevent ice dams. Metal also reflects radiant heat, reducing cooling costs in summer, and its non-combustible rating (Class A) provides extra wildfire protection in heavily wooded areas.
What metal roofing profiles and materials do you install?
We offer standing seam, exposed-fastener, and metal shingle profiles. Material options include galvanized steel (26- & 24-gauge Galvalume), aluminum for coastal-grade corrosion resistance, and upscale options like copper and zinc. Each system is custom-fabricated for your roof’s exact measurements, ensuring precise fit and minimal waste.
How long can I expect a metal roof to last, and what warranties are available?
Properly installed steel or aluminum roofs last 40–70 years—2–3 times longer than asphalt shingles. Our Galvalume panels come with a 40-year manufacturer’s finish warranty and a 25-year weathertightness warranty. We also provide a 10-year workmanship guarantee that covers installation-related issues such as leaks or panel slippage.
Is a metal roof more expensive than shingles, and what are the long-term savings?
Upfront, metal roofing typically costs 2–3 times more than architectural shingles. However, when you factor in its extended lifespan, lower maintenance, and energy savings (up to 25 % reduction in cooling costs), total life-cycle costs are often lower than replacing shingles every 15–20 years. Additionally, metal roofs can boost resale value and may earn insurance discounts due to superior fire and wind resistance.
Will a metal roof be noisy, attract lightning, or rust over time?
Noise: When installed over solid decking with underlayment and attic insulation, a metal roof is no louder than shingles during rain. Lightning: Metal does not increase strike probability; it safely dissipates energy if struck, reducing fire risk. Rust: Galvalume steel contains aluminum and zinc alloys that form a self-protecting layer, while aluminum and copper naturally resist corrosion. Periodic inspections and prompt touch-ups of scratched areas ensure decades of rust-free performance.
What maintenance does a metal roof require, and how does it handle snow and ice?
Maintenance is minimal: annual visual inspections, clearing debris from valleys and gutters, and occasionally tightening exposed fasteners (if your system uses them). For snow management, we can install color-matched snow guards that hold snow in place until it melts gradually, preventing sudden rooftop avalanches around entrances and walkways. The slick panel surface naturally sheds snow, lowering structural loads and reducing the likelihood of ice dams compared to asphalt roofs.
